Description
Unter pneumatischen Zelten sind üblicherweise aufblasbare Zelte und Tragluftzelte zu verstehen, die überall dort Einsatz finden, wo ein einfacher und schneller Aufbau, ein geringes Transportgewicht, kleine Packmaße und ggf. eine erhöhte Werbewirksamkeit von signifikanter Bedeutung sind.Pneumatic tents are usually to be understood as inflatable tents and carrying tents, which are used wherever a simple and fast construction, a low transport weight, small packing dimensions and possibly an increased advertising effectiveness are of significant importance.
Häufig werden diese pneumatischen Zelte nur kurzzeitig, beispielsweise als Gerätezelt auf Großbaustellen, als Werbepavillon, als Einsatzzelt für militärische Operationen, als Sanitätszelt, als Notunterkünfte, als Behausung für Wanderausstellungen, als Festivalherberge oder als Pavillon für Sportevents eingesetzt.Frequently, these pneumatic tents are used only briefly, for example, as a device tent on large construction sites, as a promotional pavilion, as a tent for military operations, as a medical tent, as emergency shelters, as housing for traveling exhibitions, as a festival hostel or as a pavilion for sporting events.
Für die Konstruktion pneumatischer Zelte konnten sich bislang drei grundlegende Bauweisen auf dem Markt durchsetzen, bei denen zur Aufrechterhaltung des erforderlichen Innendrucks diese entweder nur einmalig mit Luft befüllt und mittels Ventile verschlossen werden oder ein Gebläse/Kompressor permanent betrieben wird.For the construction of pneumatic tents have so far been able to assert three basic designs in the market, which are filled to maintain the required internal pressure either only once with air and sealed by valves or a blower / compressor is operated permanently.
Der ersten Konstruktion ist immanent, dass die die Hülle des Zeltes bildende Zelthaut dabei doppelwandig ausgebildet und in Kammern unterteilt ist, wobei jede Kammer einzeln oder mehrere Kammern im Verbund aufgeblasen werden.The first construction is immanent that the tent skin forming the shell of the tent is double-walled and divided into chambers, each chamber being inflated individually or several chambers in the composite.
Von dieser doppelwandigen Konstruktion unterscheidet sich die Konstruktion eine Traglufthalle, welche von einem mittels Gebläse erzeugten Überdruck gestützt wird und eine entsprechend ausgebildete Druckschleuse für den Zugang hat.From this double-walled construction, the construction differs from a breech block, which is supported by a positive pressure generated by a fan and has a correspondingly formed pressure lock for access.
Letztlich sei die Rahmenbauweise mit aufblasbarem Rahmen genannt, bei der der Rahmen durch eine zusätzliche Zeltplane als Außenhaut zumindest partiell umhüllt ist. Derartige Zeltkonstruktionen finden vorrangig im Campingbereich, in der Werbebranche und bei Sportveranstaltungen ihre Liebhaber, da ihrer funktionellen Gestaltung und optischen Erscheinung nahezu keine Grenzen gesetzt sind und darüber hinaus für ihren Aufbau kein - oftmals nur umständlich zu handhabendes - Gestänge benötigt wird.Ultimately, the frame construction with inflatable frame is called, in which the frame is at least partially wrapped by an additional tarpaulin as the outer skin. Such tent constructions are primarily in the camping, in the advertising industry and sports events their lovers, since their functional design and visual appearance are virtually no limits and beyond for their construction no - often cumbersome to handle - linkage is needed.
Die Fertigungsgrenzen der letztgenannten Gattung von pneumatischen Zelten liegen jedoch dort, wo der Wunsch besteht, sogenannte Sternenzelte als rein pneumatische Zelte dem Markt zur Verfügung zu stellen. Sternenzelte unterscheiden sich von anderen Zelten dadurch, dass sie eine größere Bauhöhe haben und somit ein angenehmeres "Raumgefühl" für die Benutzer vermitteln.The production limits of the latter type of pneumatic tents are, however, where there is a desire to provide so-called star tents as purely pneumatic tents available to the market. Star tents differ from other tents in that they have a larger height and thus provide a more pleasant "sense of space" for the users.
Sternezelte bestehen nämlich im Wesentlichen aus einer einzelnen, meist aus Aluminium oder Holz gefertigten, vertikal sich erstreckenden, zentral platzierten Säule sowie einer Zelthaut, die sich kuppelartig über den Kulminationspunkt der Säule erstreckt und distal an mehreren Stellen mittels Spannelemente abgespannt und dabei am Boden verankert wird. Die Montage einer solchen Säule, die bei einer üblichen Baulänge von 4m bis 12 m naturgemäß ein hohes Eigengewicht aufweist, erfordert zur Montage/Demontage mindestens zwei Personen, was zwangsläufig organisatorischen und finanziellen Aufwand nach sich zieht.Star tents consist essentially of a single, usually made of aluminum or wood, vertically extending, centrally placed pillar and a tent skin, which extends like a dome over the culmination of the column and distally secured at several points by means of clamping elements and anchored to the ground , The installation of such a column, which naturally has a high weight with a standard length of 4m to 12 m, requires for assembly / disassembly at least two people, which inevitably entails organizational and financial costs.
Mit den derzeit am Markt verfügbaren Lösungen ist es bislang nicht möglich, die schwere, zentrisch platzierte Aluminium- oder Holzsäule gegen eine leichter zu handhabende Konstruktion zu substituieren.With the solutions currently available on the market, it has not been possible to substitute the heavy, centrically placed aluminum or wood column for an easier-to-handle construction.
Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht nunmehr darin ein pneumatisches Zelt, insbesondere Sternenzelt vorzuschlagen, welches besonders einfach beim Transport und bei der Montage/Demontage nur durch eine Person zu handhaben. Darüber hinaus soll das pneumatische Zelt eine größere Funktionalität aufweisen.
Erfindungsgemäß weist das pneumatische Zelt, insbesondere ein Sternenzelt, zumindest einen in Montageendposition ausgehend von der Aufstellfläche sich vertikal erstreckenden Holm sowie eine über den selbsttragenden Holm kuppelartig sich erstreckende Zelthülle auf, die mit Arretierungsmitteln gegenüber der Aufstellfläche arretiert und gespannt wird, wobei der ein mit Überdruck beaufschlagtes Füllgas aufweisende Holm einlagig oder mehrlagig ausgebildet ist und eine steuerbare oder regelbare Beleuchtungseinrichtung aufweist, die innerhalb des Holms platziert ist.According to the invention, the pneumatic tent, in particular a star tent, at least one mounting end position starting from the footprint vertically extending spar and a self-supporting spar dome-like extending tent cover, which is locked with locking means against the footprint and tensioned, the one with overpressure charged filling gas having Holm is formed in one or more layers and has a controllable or controllable lighting device, which is placed within the spar.
Bei einem mehrlagig ausgebildeten Holm sind die einzelnen Lagen dauerhaft miteinander, beispielsweise in Gestalt eines Laminats, verbunden und/oder liegen schichtweise ohne Verbund auf- oder aneinander gemäß einer sogenannten "Zwiebelhautkonstruktion".In a multi-layered spar, the individual layers are permanently connected to one another, for example in the form of a laminate, and / or lie layer-wise without composite on or against each other according to a so-called "onion skin construction".
Der mehrlagig ausgebildete Holm mit schichtweise ohne Verbund auf- oder aneinander liegenden Lagen umfasst vorzugsweise eine erste Lage, die als eine dem Holm die äußere Form gebende und als Stützstruktur fungierende Außenhaut ausgebildet ist. Eine zweite Lage ist als einmal befüllbares Füllgasreservoir ausgebildeter Innenschlauch mit zumindest einem die Außenhaut durchdringenden Ventil ausgebildet, wobei die steuerbare oder regelbare Beleuchtungseinrichtung entweder innerhalb des als befüllbares Füllgasreservoir ausgebildeten Innenschlauchs oder zwischen dem Innenschlauch und der Außenhaut platziert ist.The multi-layered spar with layer-wise composite on or lying on each other layers preferably comprises a first layer, which is designed as a Holm the outer shape giving and acting as a support structure outer skin. A second layer is designed as a once filled filling gas reservoir formed inner tube with at least one outer skin penetrating valve, the controllable or controllable illumination device is placed either within the inner tube designed as a fillable Füllgasreservoir or between the inner tube and the outer skin.
Als Füllgase werden vorzugsweise reiner Sauerstoff, Stickstoff oder ein Gemisch daraus, respektive Luft, eingesetzt. Luft steht im Gegensatz zu Stickstoff zwar naturgemäß uneingeschränkt kostenlos zur Verfügung, doch weist reiner Stickstoff gegenüber Luft, in welchem dieser nur anteilig vorhanden ist, den Vorteil auf, dass es größere Moleküle hat, die weniger zur Diffusion neigen.As filling gases preferably pure oxygen, nitrogen or a mixture thereof, or air, are used. Although air, unlike nitrogen, is of course fully available free of charge, it does For example, pure nitrogen over air, in which it is only partially present, has the advantage that it has larger molecules that are less prone to diffusion.
Bei einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung wird jedoch nur ein relativ zur Zelthülle zentrisch platzierter Holm eingesetzt, über dessen Kulminationspunkt sich die Zelthülle kuppelartig aufspannt. Die äußere Form ähnelt dabei der Form eines nordamerikanischen Indianerzeltes, respektive eines Tipi. Ferner besteht auch die Möglichkeit, zwei Holme vorzusehen, welche dann eingesetzt werden, wenn der Wunsch der Nutzer nach einer größeren "überdachten" Zeltfläche besteht.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, however, only one relative to the tent cover centrically placed spar is used, on the culmination of which the tent cover spans like a dome. The outer shape resembles the shape of a North American Indian tent, respectively a teepee. Furthermore, it is also possible to provide two spars, which are then used when the desire of users for a larger "covered" tent area exists.
Mit dieser Lösung steht dem Markt erstmals ein pneumatisches Sternenzelt zur Verfügung, bei dem nicht nur die Zelthülle sondern auch der zumindest eine illuminierte Holm, neben seiner Funktion als tragendes Element, als hinterleuchtete Werbefläche genutzt werden kann ohne die Notwendigkeit, zur Aufrechterhaltung des Innendrucks ein Gebläse permanent betreiben zu müssen.With this solution, the market for the first time a pneumatic star tent available in which not only the tent cover but also at least one illuminated spar, in addition to its function as a supporting element, can be used as a backlit advertising space without the need to maintain the internal pressure a fan to operate permanently.
Als Material für die robuste Außenhaut des Holms wird vorzugsweise ein Polyester, beispielsweise Dacron, eingesetzt.As a material for the robust outer skin of the spar, a polyester, for example Dacron, is preferably used.
Die Außenhaut des Holms umfasst einen abriebfesten und gegen mechanische Krafteinwirkung beständigen Fußabschnitt, einen Mittenabschnitt sowie einen mit der Zelthülle in Wirkverbindung stehenden Kopfabschnitt, wobei einer oder mehrere Abschnitte Arretierungsmittel in Gestalt von Schlaufen, Ringen, Klettverschlüssen oder Ösen aufweisen, um den Holm gegenüber der Aufstellfläche und andererseits Funktionalelemente in Gestalt von Leuchtmitteln, Lautsprechern, Werbebannern, Halterungen oder Bedienelementen am Holm befestigen zu können.The outer skin of the spar comprises an abrasion-resistant and mechanical force-resistant foot portion, a middle portion and a standing with the tent cover operatively connected head portion, wherein one or more sections locking means in the form of loops, rings, Velcro or eyelets, the spar over the footprint and on the other hand be able to attach functional elements in the form of bulbs, speakers, banners, brackets or controls on the spar.
Es hat sich als besonders vorteilhaft erwiesen, wenn die Wirkverbindung zwischen dem konisch ausgebildeten Kopfabschnitt des Holms und der Zelthülle mittels Klettverschluss realisiert wird.It has proved to be particularly advantageous if the operative connection between the conically shaped head portion of the spar and the tent cover is realized by means of Velcro.
Um dem Holm in Montageendposition eine hinreichend gute Standsicherheit zu verleihen ist vorgesehen, dass dem zylinderförmig ausgebildeten Holm ein auf der Aufstellfläche platzierter Torus zugeordnet ist, dessen freier Querschnitt passfähig zum Querschnitt des Holms ausgebildet ist, wobei der Beschwerungsmittel aufweisende Torus ringartig den Fußabschnitt des Holmes umschließt und ggf. mit dem Holm gekoppelt ist. Als Beschwerungsmittel für den Torus ist dabei Wasser oder Sand vorgesehen, die nahezu an jedem Aufstellort in der Regel kostenlos zur Verfügung stehen.In order to give the spar a sufficiently good stability in the final assembly position, it is provided that the cylinder-shaped spar is assigned a torus placed on the placement surface whose free cross-section is adapted to the cross-section of the spar, wherein the torus having the weighting means surrounds the foot portion of the spar in a ring-like manner and possibly coupled to the spar. As a weighting agent for the torus while water or sand is provided, which are almost free of charge at almost every place of installation.
Die Stützstruktur des Holms wird erfindungsgemäß gebildet durch die aus Polyester gefertigte Außenhaut im Zusammenspiel mit dem innerhalb der Außenhaut platzierten Innenschlauch, der vollständig von der Außenhaut umhüllt ist. Zur Sicherstellung einer optimalen Anpassung des aufgeblasenen Innenschlauchs an die Außenhaut wird als Werkstoff vorzugsweise Polyurethan (PU) in Gestalt einer Folie eingesetzt.The support structure of the spar is formed according to the invention by the outer skin made of polyester in interaction with the inner tube placed inside the outer skin, which is completely enveloped by the outer skin. To ensure optimum adaptation of the inflated inner tube to the outer skin is preferably used as a material polyurethane (PU) in the form of a film.
Eine derartige Konstruktion, nämlich der Aufbau einer Stützstruktur mittels einer hochfesten Dacron-Außenhaut und einer innenliegenden PU-Folie, hat sich in unzähligen Versuchsreihen als besonders vorteilhaft erwiesen, um auch unter widrigsten Wetterbedingungen eingesetzt werden zu können.Such a construction, namely the construction of a support structure by means of a high-strength Dacron outer skin and an inner PU film, has proved to be particularly advantageous in countless series of experiments in order to be able to be used even under the most adverse weather conditions.
Für ausgewählte Anwendungsfälle des Erfindungsgegenstandes hat sich erfolgreich bewährt, die Zelthülle und/oder die Außenhaut des Holms mehrteilig oder segmentartig auszubilden, wobei die einzelnen Teile oder Segmente miteinander vernäht, verklebt, verschweißt oder mittels Klettverbindung miteinander verbunden sind.For selected applications of the subject invention has been successfully proven to form the tent cover and / or the outer skin of the spar in several parts or segments, the individual parts or segments sewn together, glued, welded or connected by Velcro connection.
Besonders praktisch erweist sich zumindest ein im Fußabschnitt und/oder Mittenabschnitt des Holms ausgebildetes Reservoir, in welchem Utensilien zur Ablage, beispielsweise der zur Einmalbefüllung vorgesehene Kompressor, Stromverteiler, Kabel, eine Steuer- und Regeleinerichtung oder als Ersatz vorgesehene Arretierungsmittel platziert sind. Dem Erfindungsgedanken steht auch nicht entgegen, wenn das ggf. verschließbare Reservoir in einer Höhe des Holms im Bereich des Mittenabschnitts ausgebildet ist, welche einer benutzerfreundlichen Arbeitshöhe, d. h. zwischen einem Meter und zwei Meter, entspricht.Particularly useful is at least one formed in the foot and / or center section of the spar reservoir in which utensils for storage, for example, provided for disposable compressor compressor, power distribution, cables, a control and Regeleinerichtung or provided as a replacement locking means are placed. The concept of the invention is also not opposed if the possibly closable reservoir is formed at a height of the spar in the region of the middle section, which corresponds to a user-friendly working height, i. H. between one meter and two meters, corresponds.
Vorzugsweise weist die mehrere LED umfassende und als Hinterleuchtung ausgebildete Beleuchtungseinrichtung des Holms eine Justier- und Positionierungseinrichtung auf, um die mittels Kabel oder anderen leitfähigen Elementen, z. B. Kohlefaser, miteinander gekoppelten LEDs innerhalb des Holms exakt in der Höhe und in der Beabstandung gegenüber der Außenhaut des Holms ausrichten zu können. Die Justier- und Positionierungseinrichtung ist dabei derart ausgebildet, dass sie auch in Montageendposition des pneumatischen Zelts bedient werden kann. Im einfachsten Fall sind dazu Abstandshalter, Umlenkrollen, voneinander beabstandete Arretierungsmittel und ein oder mehrere Fadenzüge vorgesehen, die miteinander in Wirkverbindung stehen.Preferably, the multi-LED comprehensive and designed as a backlight illumination device of the spar on an adjusting and positioning device to the by means of cables or other conductive elements, for.

Wie bereits erwähnt, weist der Holm eine ihm die äußere Form gebende und als Stützstruktur fungierende Außenhaut und zumindest einen als einmal befüllbares Füllgasreservoir ausgebildeten Innenschlauch mit zumindest einem die Außenhaut durchdringenden Ventil auf. Aus Gründen der Ausfall-, Funktions- und Betriebssicherheit kann es jedoch auch zweckmäßig sein, mehrere parallel verlaufende Innenschläuche vorzusehen, um eine gewünschte Redundanz zu erzeugen. Die parallele Auslegung des sicherheitstechnischen Systems gewährleistet, dass bei Ausfall eines Innenschlauchs infolge eines unerwarteten Druckluftabfalls der oder die anderen Innenschläuche die erforderliche Stabilität des die Zelthülle tragenden Holms gewährleisten. Dadurch wird das Risiko einer gemeinsamen Störung aller im Holm platzierten Innenschläuche minimiert.As already mentioned, the spar has an outer skin giving it its outer shape and functioning as a support structure, and at least one inner tube formed as a once-filling gas reservoir with at least one valve penetrating the outer skin. For reasons of failure, functional and operational safety, it may also be expedient to provide a plurality of parallel inner tubes to produce a desired redundancy. The parallel design of the safety system ensures that in case of failure of an inner tube due to an unexpected drop in pressure of the other inner tubes or the ensure the required stability of the tent shell-bearing spar. This minimizes the risk of a common failure of all inner tubes placed in the spar.
Der zumindest eine Innenschlauch umfasst ein die Außenhaut durchdringendes Ventil, welches als Einlassventil mit integrierter Rücksaugfunktion ausgebildet ist. Das heißt, dass durch Umschaltung der Strömungsrichtung ein mittels Elektropumpe, Druckluftflasche oder Kompressor aufgepumpter Innenschlauch auch problemlos wieder entleert bzw. evakuiert werden kann.The at least one inner tube comprises a valve penetrating the outer skin, which is designed as an inlet valve with integrated suction-suction function. This means that by switching the flow direction, an inner tube inflated by means of an electric pump, compressed air cylinder or compressor can also be easily emptied or evacuated again.
